A/N: I do not own anything except the plot and OCs. Enjoy! ~S~

"Two more hours and we are off shift," Peter Mills said coming and sitting down on the couch by Hermann.

"Candidate, have you learned nothing since you came here?" Hermann asked. "From the minute you come on shift until the minute you get off, you do not make any reference to time remaining."

"Seriously Mills, you've gotta pull it together man. Otherwise we are gonna be going on ten calls a shift," Casey said from the table where he was playing cards with most of truck crew.

As if on cue, the PA system cut on. "Building fire. Corner of Pinewood and Main. Truck and Rescue."

"Damn it Mills," Severide said standing up from the Squad table and heading to the uniform closet.

"Sorry guys," Mills said as everyone suited up.

The trucks pulled up to the scene to find a long building mostly up in flames. It was broken up into several retail stores. The police had already taped off a perimeter and were moving blockades to let the trucks through.

The firemen ran up to the cops to get the info they needed before entering the building. "Every store is clear except for the antique shop. The business partner said that it happened too fast. She was closer to the door when part of the roof collapsed. She says her partner was at the back."

"Is there a back door?" Severide asked.

"Yes, second door from the end," the cop said motioning for them to go around the right side and walking away to do his job.

Severide turned to his men. "Okay, Rodgers and Martinez, go through the front door. The rest of us are going around back." They all ran in their destinations. When Severide and his team got to the back door, he radioed Casey. "Casey, how's that vent coming?"

"All done, you're good to go," Casey said over the radio.

"Go, go," Severide instructed his men. They busted through the door and were met with a dense wall of smoke. "Is anyone in here? This is the Chicago Fire Department." There was no answer. "Alright men, let's find this woman and get the hell out of here."

The men broke off and started searching the area. Severide walked towards the side with thicker smoke. "Is anyone in here?" he called out again.

He heard coughing coming from a storage closet and ran over. One of the beams had detached from the ceiling and was partially blocking the closet doorway. "Hello?"

"Hello." A raspy voice called back followed by a round of coughs.

Severide saw the woman's outline laying on the closet floor. "Ma'am can you hear me? Are you hurt?"

"It's my leg," the woman called back.

"Can you stand on it?"

"It's stuck."

Severide crouched down to see that when the beam fell, it pinned her leg to the floor. "I have the woman by the storage closet. I need a few more arms to lift a beam pinning her leg," he said into the radio and instantly his men appeared.

"Here boss," one of his men said.

"Lift on three and I'll help her out. Ready, 1…2…3."

The men lifted the beam and Severide helped the woman to her feet. She couldn't put a lot of pressure on her left leg so Severide helped her out of the building.

Once outside, Dawson and Shay ran over with a stretcher. The woman was taken to the ambulance where the women began a full check-up.

Casey and his team were making great progress on putting out the fire so Severide went back over to check on the woman.

Meanwhile Dawson and Shay were administering oxygen for the smoke inhalation.

"How's she doing?" Severide asked.

"She needs oxygen for all the smoke inhalation and she needs to get an x-ray of her leg but she's gonna be fine," Shay said.

The woman was awake and looking at all of them.

"How are you feeling? You okay?" Severide asked her.

She pulled the oxygen mask away from her mouth. "Thank you," she said smiling sweetly.

Severide smiled back. "What's your name?"

"Dina."

"Well Dina, you just get better okay? That's all the thanks I need."

"We need to take her in now," Dawson said rolling the stretcher into the ambulance and shut the doors. Severide waved at Dina and she gave a small wave back as the ambulance pulled away.

"Who was that?" Severide looked up to see Casey standing beside him.

He looked back at the building to see that the fire was completely out now. He turned back to where the ambulance had just been a few moments before. "Dina."

"Uh-huh," Casey said knowingly. "And was Dina pretty?"

Severide just looked over at him. "Shut up," he finally said walking away.

Back at the station the guys were packing up their stuff to go home.

Hermann came around the corner of the lockers. "Who's up for a night cap at Freddy's?" Freddy's was the popular bar down the street from the fire house.

"I'm in," Mills said grinning.

"Are you even old enough to get in?" Hermann asked jokingly.

"Haha, you're so funny," Mills replied.

"Casey?" Hermann asked.

"That sounds good," Casey said shutting his locker.

"Severide?" Hermann asked. When he didn't answer right away, everyone turned at looked at Kelly. "Severide?" Hermann tried again.

"Huh," Kelly said jerking his head up.

"Freddy's? You in?" Hermann asked looking annoyed now.

"Not tonight man. I have something I gotta do." He stood up, grabbed his bag, and closed his locker. "See you all later."

Everyone watched his leave in shock. Kelly Severide turned down going to the bar? That never happened.

Casey got up and followed Severide out the door. He caught up with him as he was walking to his car. "Severide," Casey called out.

"What?" Severide asked turning around.

"You going to see that woman?" Casey knew how he operated.

"Drop it," Severide said turning back around to his car.

"Is that a yes?" Casey asked smiling.

Severide paused, turned back to Casey, and hesitated. "Yes," He turned back to his car, got in, and pulled out of the lot.

Casey just watched him go with a smile on his face.

Severide walked into the ER waiting room and up to the desk. "I'm Lt. Severide. I'm looking for a young woman who was brought in this afternoon. Hurt leg and smoke inhalation?"

The nurse started to check her records when a voice came from behind him. "Well if it isn't my personal savior."

He turned to find the woman standing behind him. She was on crutches and had a cast on her leg. "How bad?" he asked pointing at the cast.

"Broken in two places," she said sighing.

"Ouch," he said grimacing.

"If you all hadn't gotten to me, it could have been a lot worse," she said with a shrug.

"Good thing we did then," he said with a smile.

"And the name of my hero is…"

"Kelly. Lt. Kelly Severide." She shook his hand. "And you're Dina…"

"Archer."

"Nice to meet you Dina Archer."

"You too," she said and they both just stood there smiling at each other.

"Dina Archer would you like to get some coffee? I know a little shop just around the corner."

"Sure," she said laughing.

Kelly waited for her to finish signing her release paperwork and then held the door for her as they left.
